They definitely are proud of their product. It was a huge change for me. I’d been a back pocket bifold or trifold guy my entire life, and I just got to the point I hated it. Had to remove it from my pocket if I was driving or riding my motorcycle or sitting for any extended period of time. It collected crap I had no need to collect, etc.

Bought my Ridge, my wife laughed and said"that elastic will never last". I’m still on my first elastic!

I bought them for two of my three sons who also love theirs.

All that said, I’ve looked a couple of times at ones like you shared, and think they would work great also.

Ridge. It’s minimalist. I’ve had mine for eight years and I love it.

I started looking at Symfonium some time ago, but something killed my interest. Maybe it’s time to revisit it.

The tidal thing didn’t bother me, as my music collection is relatively large. But yeah PlexAmp is truly an extraordinary bit of software.

This doesn’t really affect my household. My wife, my daughter, and I all have lifetime PlexPasses.

That said, this level of enshitification has me wishing there were options (yes I know about Emby and Jellyfin and I’ve investigated both more than once) but they have me ensnared by PlexAmp and Sonos integration. I’ve been around since before anyone had even seen the letters MP3 strung together, and I have never had a music player as capable as PlexAmp.

What kind of rolling privacy violations will this thing get up to.

So the proposal is to eliminate the right to free association?

And exactly how do you reinterpret The Constitution to reach your goal of overturning Citizens United?

How does one overturn citizens united without overturning the Constitution?

Thanks for a great response. I’ve been a paying customer for ages, and added my family as well. So I don’t have the paywall issues you’re seeing.

I’ve been using 1password for over a decade. I’d love to know more about the enshitification you’re seeing.

Thanks for the pointer. I’ll check it out.

I think you can get a plate that will allow you to attach that Yeti to your Packout!

If Jellyfin had PlexAmp I’d switch in an instant.

Thank you!

If I knew how to attach pictures to comments there would be a picture here of my shelf that has one if these games sitting on it.

Just say no to keyboards that need to phone home.

I have espoused views in my life I’m not proud of, but I think the same can be said of anyone.

Part of my journey was a search for intellectual consistency. Their are people of faith who are able to do that, I am not one of them. When it comes to politics, there are two contemporary thinkers (Ken White and Radley Balko) who forced me to re-evaluate my beliefs.

I believe there are many Conservative thinkers who hold their positions in good faith. Sometimes they are even correct! I believe there are also many Liberal thinkers who hold their positions in good faith, sometimes they are right also.

So to answer your question, I don’t think my values were bad, some of my thinking about how to implement those values definitely was though.

As with most people we morph over time.

I’m an old guy. I started my life as a right-wing Conservative Christian. I’m now. Both an atheist and an anarchist. So yes people change. My journey has been six decades long.

That is fantastic, well done!
